Discover the perfect appetizer with Balsamic Blueberry Goat Cheese Crostini. Sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors in one delicious bite!

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, sliced: The base of your crostini should be a crusty baguette to provide a crispy, crunchy texture that contrasts with the creamy goat cheese.
  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened: Choose a high-quality, fresh goat cheese (chèvre) for a tangy, creamy spread that complements the sweetness of the blueberries.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries: Opt for plump, ripe blueberries to add a burst of natural sweetness and a fresh, fruity flavor.
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar: Use a good-quality balsamic vinegar for its rich, tangy flavor that will be the base of the glaze.
  • 2 tbsp honey: Honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance the acidity of the balsamic vinegar in the glaze.
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish: Basil provides a herbaceous note and a pop of color that enhances the overall presentation and flavor.
